New Year's Eve, Lieyang Empire, Zhongdu Imperial City.
Fireworks are constantly exploding in the air in the city. Today is New Year's Eve, the happiest day for people.
But unlike other places in the imperial city, only the Duke's Palace is not decorated with lights and decorations during the New Year, and there is not even a little bit of New Year's atmosphere.
Ever since she heard that she was forced to be engaged to Chiyue's young prince, Qianxue locked herself in the house. Until now, she neither eats nor drinks, sees no one, and no one can knock on her room. Door.
"Young princess, are you still not eating or drinking?" Chu Xiyan came to Qianxue's courtyard with her hands behind her back.
The maids standing at the door nodded slightly.
"You guys go to the banquet. You can have a few drinks today and you won't have to come tonight." Chu Xiyan nodded and casually motioned to the maids to go down.
Today is New Year's Eve. Although the atmosphere is not very good, it is still the New Year. The Duke's Palace has also prepared a sumptuous dinner for these servants and maids.
After the maids and guards left, Chu Xiyan gently knocked on the door.
"Qianxue, please open the door and chat with your father. Today is New Year's Eve, the Chinese New Year." Chu Xiyan said softly.
"Is there anything you can say?" Qianxue's voice came from inside the door.
Chu Xiyan sighed and said, "Your great-great-grandfather decided this matter. Dad is also very sad, but you have to understand that there are some things that we cannot make the decision."
"Your Uncle Xiyun and your Aunt Wan'er, aren't these clear examples?"
It took a while before Qianxue's voice came again.
"Since it's a marriage, why can't other people marry that Sky Eagle? Why me?"
Chu Xiyan was silent for a moment and said: "The other party is the young prince, who will be the emperor of the Scarlet Moon Empire in the future. Only you, the young princess, can match him in terms of equal status. Moreover, you were indeed engaged at the beginning."
"An engagement? Is a marriage made to me without my consent considered an engagement? What do you think of me? If I had known you would control my life like this, I shouldn't have come back in the first place!" Qianxue's angry voice came from inside the door. Passed out.
"Presumptuous!" Chu Xiyan slapped the door hard and cursed in a low voice.
Both father and daughter were silent.
"Do you know how many people died and how many families were broken in order to save you? Do you take this matter as a joke?" Chu Xiyan said in a suppressed voice.
"I...I have lived a pretty good life these past few years. Although I was a little miserable in the first few years, at least I was carefree and happy all day long. Then I met Dorian, who changed all of our lives. He brings us all together.”
"I love him, I only love him. I don't want to marry someone I've never met. No matter who he is, he can't be compared to Dorian!"
"If...I mean if, I don't have the power to change everything, then I always have the power to decide my own destiny..."
"I can't do anything else, but I am willing to die for the love in my heart! Just to ensure the innocence of this love!"
Qianxue's voice reached Chu Xiyan's ears.
Chu Xiyan couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the vermilion door with his palm and opened the locked door.
….
What caught his eye was Qianxue sitting in white clothes facing the door. At this time, Qianxue's face was a little thin. Her cultivation level was not high and she could not go on a hunger strike for a long time like Daolin.
"Do you know what you are talking about!" Chu Xiyan stood at the door and looked directly at Qianxue and scolded.
A dignified and luxurious lady also rushed over at this time. She was Qianxue's biological mother.
"Xue'er, don't do anything stupid..." The beautiful woman cried and ran over to hold Qianxue in her arms.
"Mom, I haven't done anything stupid, at least not yet." Qianxue buried her head in the beautiful woman's arms and murmured.
"You said you didn't do anything stupid. You haven't eaten or drank for a long time. Look at how thin you are." The beautiful woman touched Qianxue's cheek and said, her tears sliding down her cheeks.
Chu Xiyan looked at his wife and daughter and felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I know you asked A Ming to go to Shangzhou County, but A Ming returned yesterday. But where is the person you are waiting for?"
"I hope he comes to steal the bride, snatch you away, and take you far away, to a place where no one can find you, but where are the others!" Chu Xiyan said in a deep voice.
Qianxue looked at her father from the gap in the beautiful woman's arm. She did not expect Chu Xiyan to say this.
"He...he might be preparing..." Qianxue said weakly.
"What are you preparing for? What can he prepare! I think he is just timid. He doesn't even have the courage to show up! Why should such a person belong to you? Why should he be my son-in-law!" Chu Xiyan said angrily.
To be honest, he really didn't want his daughter to be sad, so in this matter, his position was also on her daughter's side. Even when his daughter sent someone to report the news, he did not stop her, and secretly sent experts to covertly Protect Amin and ensure that the news reaches Dolin's ears.
The message passed, but there was no reply, and even the people he let out didn't see any movement in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This was what made him the most angry as a father.
Qianxue raised her head and looked at her mother. The beautiful woman said with a loving look on her face: "Don't listen to your father. Maybe that man named Daolin is really planning something. Don't you think he is very smart?"
Qianxue held back her tears and nodded, but the tears still flowed out unsatisfactorily.
"Don't cry during the New Year. If you cry today, you will have to cry for a whole year next year. Be good, and we will celebrate the New Year happily." The beautiful woman touched the girl's head and said, not to mention how uncomfortable she felt, but she couldn't show it. come out.
"Mother..." Qianxue cried loudly. She buried her head in the beautiful woman's arms. As she cried, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Tears also fell from the corners of the beautiful woman's eyes. Mother and daughter are of the same mind. Qianxue is the flesh that fell from her body. When her daughter is uncomfortable, she will naturally feel uncomfortable as well.
Chu Xiyan sighed and sat directly on the door rail. He looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky in the distance and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Under the constant comfort of the beautiful woman, Qianxue finally stopped crying.
"Today is New Year's Eve, we should go have dinner." Chu Xiyan slowly stood up and said.
"Auntie, what are you eating today?" Qianxue asked as she broke away from the beautiful woman's arms.
This sentence directly confused Chu Xi Yanwen. To be honest, he really didn't know what kind of New Year's Eve dinner Chu Wan'er would enjoy today.
"It's okay to let me eat, but I want to go to Zhidou Palace to eat with my aunt. If you agree, then I will eat this New Year's Eve dinner. If you don't agree, I will continue to be hungry. By then, what Tianying will marry It will be a cold body!"
